• Do not stand on top of the appliance (do not use it as a substitute for a ladder).
• Do not use the appliance under water.
2.6 The material vacuumed up
▶ Do not use the appliance to vacuum up flammable or explosive dusts or dusts that present a health
hazard (e.g. magnesium or aluminum dust). Do not use the appliance to vacuum up materials
hotter than 60 °C (140 °F) (e.g. glowing cigarettes, hot ash).
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Hazardous
materials, such as asbestos and lead, are outside the intended use → page 18 of the product and will
void the warranty.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ Working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ Avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ Directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ Wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Do not use the appliance to vacuum up flammable, explosive or aggressive liquids (coolants and
lubricants, gasoline, solvents, acids (pH < 5), alkalies (pH > 12.5), etc.).
▶ Switch the appliance off immediately if foam or liquids escape from it.
▶ Wear protective gloves when using the appliance to vacuum up hot materials at temperatures up
to 60 °C (140 °F).
▶ When working with mineral drilling slurry, wear protective clothing and avoid skin contact with the
slurry (pH > 9: caustic).
▶ Avoid contact with alkaline or acidic liquids. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse with water. In
the event of the liquid coming into contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes with plenty of water and
consult a physician.

Additionally in the case of L-class vacuum cleaners
▶ A Dust Class L appliance is suitable for vacuuming up dry, non-flammable dusts, wood shavings and
hazardous dusts with an exposure limit value of > 1 mg/m³.
VC 30M
Additionally in the case of M-class vacuum cleaners
▶ The dust class M appliance is suitable for vacuuming up dry, non-flammable dusts, wood shavings and hazardous dusts with exposure limit values ≥ 0.1 mg/m³.
2.7 Vacuum cleaner use and care
▶ Never leave the vacuum cleaner unattended.
▶ Protect the vacuum cleaner from frost.
▶ Check the fill level monitor (float) at regular intervals for dirt and visible damage; remove dirt accretions
from the float whenever necessary.
▶ When fitting the suction head on to the vacuum cleaner, take care to avoid pinching your fingers or
damaging the supply cord. This presents a risk of injury or damage.
▶ Check the vacuum cleaner and its accessories for damage. Guards, safety devices and any slightly
damaged parts must be checked carefully to ensure that they function faultlessly and as intended. Check
that moving parts function faultlessly, without sticking, and that no parts are damaged. In order to ensure
faultless operation of the vacuum cleaner, all parts must be fitted correctly and must meet all applicable
requirements.
▶ Have your vacuum cleaner repaired only by a qualified specialist using only genuine Hilti spare parts. The
safety of the vacuum cleaner can thus be maintained.
▶ Always unplug the supply cord from the power outlet when the vacuum cleaner is not in use (during
breaks), before cleaning and maintenance and before changing the filter or accessories. This safety
precaution prevents the vacuum cleaner from starting accidentally.
